Don’t Stop the Presses – Until Next Month
By Dan Friedman June 9, 2009
It’s hardly a secret that the once-ubiquitous print newspaper is heading for the recycling bin of history.
But sometimes the news hits closer to home than others. Last month, the newspaper trade magazine Presstime issued a strident proclamation
DON’T STOP THE PRESSES (see photo)
This month, the New York Times reported that Presstime was becoming an online only publication.
Perhaps next month’s cover could be
DON’T STOP THE RECESSION!
I hope you appreciated this article. Before you go, I’d like to ask you to please support the Forward’s award-winning journalism this Passover.
In this age of misinformation, our work is needed like never before. We report on the news that matters most to American Jews, driven by truth, not ideology.
At a time when newsrooms are closing or cutting back, the Forward has removed its paywall. That means for the first time in our 126-year history, Forward journalism is free to everyone, everywhere. With an ongoing war, rising antisemitism, and a flood of disinformation that may affect the upcoming election, we believe that free and open access to Jewish journalism is imperative.
Readers like you make it all possible. Right now, we’re in the middle of our Passover Pledge Drive and we still need 300 people to step up and make a gift to sustain our trustworthy, independent journalism.
Make a gift of any size and become a Forward member today. You’ll support our mission to tell the American Jewish story fully and fairly.
— Rachel Fishman Feddersen, Publisher and CEO
